Flowers and chocolates are the most classic and reliable gift combination, bringing together the beauty of roses and the pleasure of something sweet. To get it right, simply match the rose colour and type of chocolate to the occasion: red roses and heart-shaped chocolates for love, cheerful shades for birthdays, preserved roses for lasting gifts. At The Florist, this combination is available among our extras and in our partnership collections.
Why flowers and chocolates work so well together
Flowers speak to the eyes and the heart; chocolates, to the palate. Together, they make the gift more complete and create a moment to share. It is a combination that delights almost everyone and suits romantic, family and professional occasions alike.
Chocolate options at The Florist
- Arcádia chocolates (Chocolate Hearts): available as an extra with any bouquet.
- The Florist by Arcádia: a partnership that brings together The Florist roses and Arcádia's chocolate-making tradition.

Combinations for every occasion
Love and romance
Red roses with Arcádia Chocolate Hearts are the romantic combination par excellence. In a black or red velvet box, the effect is intense and elegant. For an even grander declaration, the Passion XL, with 30 to 34 roses in a heart-shaped box, is the perfect match for heart-shaped chocolates.
Birthdays
Pink, salmon or yellow roses bring joy to the day. Paired with chocolates, they become a festive gift to share at the table. Our article birthday flowers has more ideas.
Thank yous
A preserved Single Rose, from €30, with a box of chocolates is a delicate, well-judged thank you, ideal for a colleague, a teacher or a neighbour.
Corporate gifts
Preserved white or pink roses, in a black or white box, with chocolates make an understated yet generous gift for clients and partners. Preserved roses keep their fresh look for 3 to 5 years, keeping the memory alive long after the last chocolate.
How to make the gift even more complete
For truly special occasions, chocolates can be accompanied by other extras:
- Moët & Chandon champagne: in a 75 cl or smaller bottle, for a toast. Our The Florist by Moët & Chandon collection is dedicated to this combination.
- Eugénio Campos necklace: a piece of jewellery that turns the gift into a keepsake.
- Instax Mini 12 camera: to capture the moment.
Caring for flowers and chocolates
Interestingly, chocolates and preserved roses call for similar care: both should be kept away from direct sunlight, sources of heat and humidity. Preserved roses need no water and, with this care, last 3 to 5 years.
Fresh roses, picked in Ecuador at the peak of their bloom and hand-prepared in boxes with a built-in watering and insulation system, last 10 to 15 days. After about a week, simply add a little water between the roses. Our guide how to care for fresh roses in a box explains everything.
